| Al's dad celebrated his 60th birthday with a family party in Stratford-Upon-Avon. We flew into Stansted and had a stop off at Stowe Gardens on the way across to Stratford. It was looking resplendently English!
|
| Just right for a quick nap.
|
|
|
|
|
| In Stratford we met up with the whole family.
|
|
|
| Enjoying an excellent evening meal.
|
| 
|
| Stratford was looking great in the sunshine.
|
| As if there weren't enough Morrises in town already, there were Morris dancers on hand as well.
|
|
|
|
|
| A picnic lunch.
|
| And a spectacular Carolyn-cake to celebrate with.
|
| They're not real - they're sugar!
|
| R-achel
|
|
|
| Afternoon tea at the hotel. Very civilised.
|
|
|
|
|
| An original Whittaker lino print - a highly prized gift!
|
| The river festival provided added colour and life to the town.
|
|
|
| A big family meal to round off the weekend, with much food, wine and banter.
|
|
|
|
|
| We took a boat out on the river and attempted not to crash into anything.
|
| We'd travelled all the way across Europe only to find a gondola navigating the Avon.
